Terry Richard/The OregonianThe Zane Grey cabin on the Rogue River is now publicly owned by the BLM.

An historic cabin on the wild section of the Rogue River, once used by Western pulp fiction writer Zane Grey, has been acquired by the federal Bureau of Land Management. The cabin had been owned by the Haas family of San Francisco until the cabin and 32 surrounding acres were sold to the Trust for Public Land and then re-sold to the BLM.

Though privately owned, the owners had allowed rafters and hikers on the Rogue River to walk up and look around. The cabin is in a remote section of the river, most easily accessed by white water rafting trips or long-distance hiking trips on the Rogue River Trail.
